Arlington National Cemetery spreads across the rolling hills
west of the Potomac, a serene and reverent sanctuary for the
presidents, soldiers, and heroes—famous and unsung alike—who
lie in eternal rest among its green lawns and quiet glades.
It is a roster dating back to America’s birth and including
many of the foremost names in our history. Bittersweet, breathtaking, sometimes heart-wrenching, always
deeply respectful, this commemorative book guides readers
gently over tree-lined slopes to share the ceremonies
observed throughout the year, from the traditional
wreath-laying on Memorial Day, which enshrines centuries of
sacrifice, to the moving graveside services that honor
individual men and women who served our country. Captured in
stunning color by a select group of gifted photographers,
these unforgettable images create a portrait as poignant as
it is proud.
